Abstract:
The new revision of R.G.1.20 ’Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program for Reactor Internals during Preoperational and Initial Startup Test’ was issued by NRC in 2007.In this paper,the back-ground for the new revision of R.G.1.20 is demonstrated.Major notes of addenda are stated in contrast with the former revision,including CFD analysis and supplementary analysis in flow-induced vibration analysis,and evaluation requirement for acoustic resonance problem of main steam system(pipe line,relief valve and dryer).Some typical examples are presented for flow-induced vibration failure cause.It’s shown that the new comprehensive vibration assessment program is crucial for the safety operation and economics in nuclear power plants.
